Inventor: PRUCKNER FRANZ
IPC: C23F13/02
Filed: 1999-02-04
Abstract: A method is described for the electrochemical protection of reinforcement in concrete in harsh environments, for instance in contact with, or in close proximity to, seawater. On concrete, a composition comprising graphite dispersed in a curable mineralic binder in the form of water glass or another water-soluble inorganic silicate, a dispersion agent, optionally together with conventional additives is applied. The application is performed by spraying or brushing. An impregnation is optionally performed, either concurrent with the application of the composition or thereafter. If necessary a post treatment is performed. Further, the use of the composition for electromechanical protection or reinforcement in concrete in connection with, for instance, quay constructions, bridges, bridge piers and similar constructions is described.

Patent GB-0019514-D0 (GB)
Title: Control apparatus for use in a cellular system
IPC: H04W16/06
Filed: 1997-03-11
Abstract: To reduce the traffic load in a cell of a cellular communication system, the cell size is reduced thus transferring traffic to adjacent cells. The quality (bit error rate or frame error rate) of a communication channel is monitored, with a deterioration in quality indicating traffic overload. Cell size is reduced by reducing the power of a pilot signal transmitted from the cell's base station or by changing the hand-off parameters (which may be set in the mobile). Adjacent cells increase in size in the same manner so that no gap in coverage is produced. According to the invention, the power level of the pilot signal is decreased to a first predetermined level when the quality of a monitored CDMA channel is below a first level and is increased to a second predetermined level when the quality is above a second level.

Title: Inhalers
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: An inhaler for producing an inhalable aerosol of a powdered medicament includes an aerosolising device in the form of a vortex chamber 1. The vortex chamber 1 has a curved wall 12, a tangential inlet port 3 and an axial exit port 2. The radius R of the vortex chamber 1 decreases with angular extent   r   from the inlet port 3. The vortex chamber 1 may include a ramp 20 which reduces the height of the chamber with angular extent   r  . The reduction in effective cross-sectional area of the vortex chamber accelerates the gas flow between the inlet 3 and the outlet 2 to reduce deposition of the medicament.

Title: Textile article and method for producing the same
IPC: A41D1/00
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: A textile garment in the form of a bra or ladies top is produced from a knitted component ( 11 ) formed using a circular knitting technique, with the component ( 11 ) formed as one piece comprising a first part ( 11 a) and a second part ( 11 b), the shape of the second part ( 11 b) being generally a mirror image of the shape of first part ( 11 a) when viewed with respect to a dividing line ( 12 ) disposed half way along the tubular construction. The knitted construction is produced from yarns which are electrically insulative. However, two regions of the knitted construction ( 11 ) include electrically conductive yarns to form electrodes ( 15 ). Conductive yarn is also used to produce conductive tracking ( 16 ) leading from each electrode ( 15 ). The second part ( 11 b) is lifted up to fold the knitted construction at dividing line ( 12 ) such that the second part ( 11 b) forms an outer layer while the first part ( 11 a) forms an inner layer. Thus the conductive electrode forming regions ( 15 ) become part of the inner layer, where they are electrically insulated by the outer layer.

Title: Stationery
IPC: B42D15/02
Filed: 2001-08-06
Abstract: A stationery form including a single sheet of printable material that has a self-seal contact adhesive applied to edge regions arranged to contact each other when the form is folded about a crease line. Contacting edge regions are releasably adhered when a first pressure is applied to seal temporarily the form in a folded condition such that the form can be opened and re-sealed. The contacting edge regions are non-releasably adhered when a second pressure higher than the first pressure is applied to seal permanently the form in the folded condition. Low pressure sealing may be achieved manually, for example by finger pressure. High pressure sealing may be provided with a pressure sealing machine. A permanently sealed form can be opened by tearing along lines of weakness inboard of the adhesive to remove the bonded regions.

Title: Beer container
IPC: B67D1/04
Filed: 1985-05-13
Abstract: A dispenser for beer or the like comprising a container filled with a beverage having carbon dioxide in solution to between about 5/8 to 3/4 of its volume, the head space above the beverage being filled with a gas under pressure. When liquid is dispensed from the container the loss of CO2 dissolved in the liquid is less than that in dispensers known hitherto because the pressure in the head space remains relatively high and consequently less CO2 comes out of solution with the liquid. Hence a dispenser having a substantial head space significantly increases the ability to dispense relatively large volumes without requiring any significant restoration time.

Title: Wire for bonding semiconductor device
IPC: H01L23/49
Filed: 1986-03-26
Abstract: An inexpensive, very fine wire of high-purity copper is disclosed as an alternative to the fine gold wire which is currently used in the bonding of semiconductor devices. The very fine wire of high-purity copper is prepared from a copper ingot that contains 0-2 ppm of S, 0-2 ppm of Ag, 0-1 ppm of Se and 0-1 ppm of Te as incidental impurities with the total content of these and any other incidental impurities present being held at a level not exceeding 10 ppm. By subjecting it to an appropriate heat treatment, the wire acquires an elongation of 5-22%, a breaking strength of 14-33 kg/mm2, and a Vickers hardness of 38-50, the latter value being measured with respect to said high-purity copper in an ingot form. By reducing the amounts of these impurities to even lower levels, very fine wires are obtained that can be used in the bonding of a semiconductor device without abnormally shaped loops being formed or wire breakage being experienced and the characteristics of the wires can be adapted to specific conditions of use by performing an appropriate heat treatment.

Title: Retortable packages
IPC: B65D77/20
Filed: 1986-05-29
Abstract: A retortable, hydraulically solid, sealed package (10) containing a liquid or semi-liquid food product (24) comprises a thermoplastics container (12) formed by a thermo-forming process and a heat-shrinkable thermoplastics closure diaphragm (20). The closure diaphragm is heat-sealed to a rim (18) of the container after the headspace above the product has been evacuated, and is subsequently subjected to external pressure so as to be non-elastically stretched and made to lie wholly in contact with the enclosed product. When retorted (e.g. for sterilisation) the package suffers no visible deformation of the container (12), despite the considerable volume shrinkage of the container which may occur. The loss of volume caused by this volume shrinkage is accommodated by a reduction in the concavity of the diaphragm (20) caused by a corresponding heat-induced shrinkage of the diaphragm material. The diaphragm continues to exhibit a pleasing, smooth or smoothly curving surface, and the retorted package has a consumer-acceptable appearance.

Title: Data transmission in the active picture period
IPC: H04N7/00
Filed: 1989-05-18
Abstract: Additional information may be transmitted in the active picture period of a video signal by providing the lines of the signal which carry the additional information with a black reference at a higher level than usual (4) thus avoiding visual disturbances on the receiver display (black is displayed at these locations). New, or modified, types of receiver can detect this transmission of data in the active picture period and extract the data for use. This enables high definition images and wide screen images to be transmitted in a form compatible with conventional receivers (the data here being transmitted during lines above and below a letterbox image to be produced on conventional receivers and being the extra information needed to convert the letterbox image to the enhanced image). It also enables control signals to be transmitted (as the data) to new types of receiver, or modified receivers, so as to cause these receivers to alter their operation.
